How to connect to your VPS from any Linux/Debian Distro

First we have to install Remmina. To install Remmina in any Linux distribution, you can use your distribution's package manager.


Open the terminal on your Linux system.
Update the package manager using the command that corresponds to your distribution:
Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian-based distributions: sudo apt-get update
Fedora, CentOS, and other Red Hat-based distributions: sudo dnf update
Arch Linux: sudo pacman -Syu

Install Remmina using the package manager command that corresponds to your distribution:
Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian-based distributions: sudo apt-get install remmina
Fedora, CentOS, and other Red Hat-based distributions: sudo dnf install remmina
Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S remmina


Wait for the installation to complete. Once it's finished, you can launch Remmina by typing remmina in the terminal or by searching for it in your system's application menu.

Note that the package name and installation command may vary depending on the specific distribution and version you are using. Make sure to update your package manager before attempting to install Remmina to ensure that you are installing the latest version available in the repository.

Click in the top left corner




Choose a name for your server, for example, "MyServer".

Open the Remote Desktop Client application on your local computer.

Enter the IP address of your server, which can be found in the server section of the email we sent you.

In the "User name" field, enter "administrator" if you purchased a Windows VPS, or "root" if you purchased a Linux VPS, as well as the password that was provided in the email.

In the "Domain" field, enter the server's IP address again.

Click "Save" to save the connection settings.

Click "Connect" to establish a remote desktop connection to your server.

Note: Save and connect does the same thing as step 6 and 7, it's just saving and connects you instantly.

Once you've established a connection, you should be able to remotely manage your server as if you were sitting in front of it.
